   Work Order Types

 

The choices are Standard Work Orders (the default), Fire Alarm Test, Extinguisher Inspection, All Work Order Types, Installation Orders, or All Work Order Types.
These Work Order Types refer to the Work Order Type initially chosen in the Quick Work Order Form (except the Installation Order), or the Service Request Form when the Work Order was originally created.
Note: If the Work Order Type (see the Entering a Service Request chapter) is Installation Order, a Work Order with a Page 2 containing the Parts List will be printed.

HelpFilesRecurringServiceRequestsTechnicianGroupsList

Those selected will be inserted into the Technician Group(s) field

 

About the Use of Technician Groups:
Employees (who are Technicians) may be assigned as Members of one or more Technician Groups (sometimes also referred to a Service Groups), based on their Skills, Location, Language, Company Division - or any combination of these.
Subscribers may be assigned to only one Technician Group in the Service Information tab of the Subscriber Form (shown as the Tech Group field).
Therefore, Selecting Technician Groups will limit the Subscribers listed to those in the selected Technician Group who have Service Request Forms available within the Date Range and the other Delimiters entered above.
Check one or more Technician Groups whose Subscriber Members have Service Request Forms that you want to be included in this report.
